HAPPY NEW YEAR!! and thank you for stopping by Tales of the Ravenous Reader for our leg of the INDEPENDENT STUDY Blog Tour held by the ROCKSTAR BOOK TOURS. Today as tour stop of the Blog Tour I have asked JOELLE to create an armchair version of THE TESTING that everyone can participate in.

So, are you ready? excited? scared? ...... Please join us and take this short but sweet test and see how you would stand and place your answers in the comment section. Thank you and Good Luck!

Welcome
to the armchair version of THE TESTING!

Since
The Testing trilogy was inspired by all of the tests that students are required
to take to get into college, I was thrilled to be asked to create a test about
this series for the blog tour. Only, I promise—no
penalties for wrong answers. At least, I
don’t think there are penalties. This
isn’t my blog, so I suppose anything is possible.

To
commemorate the launch of INDEPENDENT STUDY, I decided to create a bit of a
test that involves some elements from both books in the series to see how well
you have been paying attention to Cia and her friends and how you would fare if
you entered the University.

Like the
SATs that The Testing was based on this test will be in four parts. Good Luck!

1)Tosu
City is located in what is currently the city of:

a)Oklahoma
City, OK

b)Wichita,
KS

c)St.
Louis, MO

d)Lincoln,
NE

2)Will
and his twin brother Gil were from what colony?

a)Ames

b)Pierre

c)Madison

d)Dixon

3)When
building a bridge, two of the most important things to consider are:

a)Compression
and tension

b)Centripetal
force and strain

c)Inertia
and tension

d)Mass
and Gravitational Force

4)If
you ever become a candidate for The Testing, don’t ever eat:

a)Opossum

b)Food
thrown to you by a mysterious person

c)Brownies

d)Corncakes

Bonus
interview question – just because I’m curious – if you were in The Testing,
what character (not Cia) would you trust to help you pass the test and why?

Title: INDEPENDENT STUDY

Author: Joelle Charbonneau

Pub. Date: January 7, 2014

Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt

Pages: 320

In the series debut The Testing,
sixteen-year-old Cia Vale was chosen by the United Commonwealth government as
one of the best and brightest graduates of all the colonies . . . a promising
leader in the effort to revitalize postwar civilization. In Independent
Study, Cia is a freshman at the University in Tosu City with her hometown
sweetheart, Tomas—and though the government has tried to erase her memory of
the brutal horrors of The Testing, Cia remembers. Her attempts to expose the
ugly truth behind the government’s murderous programs put her—and her loved
ones—in a world of danger. But the future of the Commonwealth depends on her.

About Joelle:

Ever since I can remember I loved telling stories. As I grew
up, I started performing those stories on the stage. Creating vivid characters
and singing wonderfully complex songs were my passion. I graduated from
Millikin University with a Bachelors Degree in Vocal Performance and then
continued onto DePaul University for my Masters Degree in Opera Performance.
From there I went onto perform across the Chicagoland area in a variety of
Operas, Operettas and Musicals. I also started teaching acting classes and
private voice lessons to pass my passion along to the next generation.

Not exactly the path you’d expect a writer to take.

I’d never dreamed of writing a novel. But I loved to read.
Then one day I had an idea and I started to write. I found my passion for
creating characters lived on the page as well as the stage. It is my hope that
the characters I’ve created resonate with you and make you smile.

I still teach voice lessons and sing for the occasional
professional event. But the rest of my time is spent with my husband and son
while dreaming up new and interesting stories. I hope that someday I hear
yours.

Hello! I am the Ravenous Reader and I love to read and find my happiness in devouring as many YA novels as I possibly can. When I am not reading then you can find me chatting up books with my blogging buddy and bookish friends to the point of distraction. I am also extremely fortunate to live in an area that has a plethora or YA events that I love chronicling on my Instagram account.

I loved The Testing and my ARC of independant studies was so great. Joelle is such a consistant writer which is so refreshing. I can not wait to read Graduation day and have to own the whole series in hardcover. Thank you for thia chance. I would be through the moon if i won.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of Independent Study. I loved it as much as The Testing. I am constantly telling my friends they need to read this series. Looking forward to Graduation Day. Thanks for writing :)

n database computing, Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) — an option for the Oracle Database software produced by Oracle Corporation and introduced in 2001 with Oracle9i — provides software for clustering and high availability in Oracle database environments. Oracle Corporation includes RAC with the Standard Edition, provided the nodes are clustered using Oracle Clusterware.Oracle RAC allows multiple computers to run Oracle RDBMS software simultaneously while accessing a single database, thus providing clustering.

In a non-RAC Oracle database, a single instance accesses a single database. The database consists of a collection of data files, control files, and redo logs located on disk. The instance comprises the collection of Oracle-related memory and operating system processes that run on a computer system.
